One in a Brazilian Chance

Kenya Believe It? I African

Fellow Quizzers, Kenya adventurers, and, most importantly, dear friends, You're going to Kenya?! I remember being exactly where you are-- sitting at home, going about my life, acting like everything is normal, all the while knowing deep down everything was definitely not normal.

A Response To ‘An Open Letter to Those Who Are (and Aren’t) in My Group’
